Colac Neighbourhood House

Stan Alves was fantastic and his presentation was exactly what we were after for our Men's Breakfast Health & Wellbeing Forum. He ensured that he was well prepared and understood our local community and was a pleasure to deal with prior to our event. He engaged the audience right from the beginning and was inspiring, passionate and personable within his presentation. Relating his own personal journey and challenges really struck an emotional cord with the audience, and is something that was really appreciated and commented on by all. Stan went above and beyond both prior to and after his presentation, ensuring that he engaged with the local community and he really intently listened to their own health and wellbeing stories. We have had highly positive feedback from all that attended, from within the community as well as internal staff and management. We cannot thank Stan enough for the positive impact that his presentation has had on the local community, with community members already taking steps to improve their health and wellbeing.
